I agree with you @Yusuf Ghadiyali.

10% wastage is considered. So correct answer is 10% of 500 = 50.
So, total bricks are 550.

Brick size = 19 x 9 x 9cm.
Size with mortar = 20 x 10 x 10cm.
Masonry size = 100 x 100 x 100cm.
Masonrysize/bricksize with mortar.
= 100 x 100 x 100/20 x 10 x 10.
= 500.
Hope you will understand now.

@Sourav.
I am agree with you. But do you think in practical case you need only 500 bricks. As an engineer you should need some more quantity of bricks because some brick may be broken or waste during its use.
